PC-98 HDI format support (not HDM) #879

Closed windship closed 6 months ago

windship commented 8 months ago

There's lots of HDI format of PC-98 HDD image because of Anex86 emulator. I think you can find them easily from internet. I couldn't find any converter or information about this. FlashFloppy can access HDM format but no way about HDI.

Can you add HDI format support for next update of FlashFloppy? You can find some technical information about HDI format here: https://www.pc98.org/project/doc/hdi.html

Example HDI images would be useful.

Hello, any progress?

levrin commented 6 months ago

Last I checked, HDI is for hard disk images, not floppies.

keirf commented 6 months ago

Yes that is true, and FDI images are already supported. FlashFloppy cannot support HDD images so HDI cannot be supported.

windship commented 6 months ago

Hmm but HDM is hard disk image format also and FF support it right?

keirf commented 6 months ago

No FF is a floppy emulator with a 34-pin floppy header. It physically cannot emulate a hard drive because they have a different physical and electrical interface.
